John
Batdorf
John Batdorf has survived many careers in one lifetime. Starting with
the 70's as a recording artist with Batdorf and Rodney, and then Silver. John made records and toured this country and
Canada for most of the 70s. He headlined many shows, but as an opening act he got to play with a lot of great groups like
America, Seals and Crofts, Dan Fogelberg, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Fleetwood Mac, The Doobie Brothers, Bread, The Youngbloods,
Hall and Oats, Cheech and Chong, England Dan and John Ford Coley, Pure Prairie League, Harry Chapin, John Prine, Dave Mason,
Kris Kristofferson just to name a few! A great time was had by all. John Batdorf spent the 80's as a staff songwriter writing songs for America, England Dan, The Curry sisters
and Kim Carnes, and as studio singer singing on hundreds of jingles, movies, and TV shows. He sang on four main titles including,
"Doctor, Doctor", "Tom and Jerry Kids", "Garfield and Friends" and "Promised Land".
He sang background vocals on some really great recordings by Rod Stewart, Motley Crue, Dave Mason, Eric Anderson,The Jefferson
Starship, Berlin, Donna Summer, Dwight Yoakum, Boy Meets Girl, Mickey Thomas, Stan Ridgeway, James Lee Stanley, David Lee
Roth, The London Choir Boys to name a few.
John is releasing his third solo CD "One Last Wish" in which
he covers new ground with some of the topics he covers, while returning to the magic, upbeat sound that Batdorf &
Rodney fans have always loved. In addition to his other solo CD's "Home Again" and "Old Man Dreamin'
" John also collaborated with James Lee Stanley on the masterful "All Wood & Stones" CD, which were fresh,
new acoustic arrangements of Rolling Stones songs, and added to the most recent "All Wood & Doors",
with James Lee Stanley and Cliff Eberhardt, and contains fresh, new acoustic arrangements of songs by The Doors, and
features such guest artists as John Densmore, Robby Krieger, Peter Tork, Timothy B. Schmit, Laurence Juber, Scott Breadman,
Paul Barrere, Rick Ruskin, Chad Watson.
The Koles
Also on the line-up are The Koles - Arlene, Bill, and their daughter Skyeler. The December 2009 issue of Music Connection
Magazine named Arlene Kole in their HOT 100 List of the top live acts in the nation. Bill Kole is an award winning engineer
producer who was distributed by A&M Records in Canada. Skyeler Kole attended the Musicians Institute in Hollywood.
She began singing studio sessions at age 11.

| Arlene Kole's "One Day" CD |
"I just had the privilege of previewing John Batdorf's newest
CD that's in the works...and John just keeps getting better ! This is a finely produced CD, with many of the tracks
containing the same soul as the early Batdorf & Rodney songs like "One Day"...while continuing to be fresh and
new. John explores some new topics, in his usual genuine, articulate, and well-crafted style.
A "must-have" CD !"

| World-renowned Blues, Jazz,
Rock Violist, and Singer, Jimbo Ross has been mesmerizing audences in a timeless fashion with his creative artistry for three
decades. In the eloquence of Jazz and Blues critic Leonard Feather, "...Jimbo is the only first-rate jazz violist extant!"
Jimbo Ross, performer/composer/arranger/producer, has become a highly acclaimed musician
in the Hollywood Recording Industry and West Coast club scene. His virtuosity, versatility, and reputation have gained him
the respect which puts him in demand to play on infinite recordings, television and feature film scores, live concerts, and
world-wide music festivals. His Progressive/Classic Blues CDs entitled "Jimbo Ross - Steady Rollin Man" and "Jimbo Ross - Driven By The Blues" are self-arranged and self-produced. This unique recording is deep-down in the Blues,
with R&B and Soul overtones, to create a sound of it's own. Jimbo
sings with committed, soulful blues passion, and plays Electric Viola with blazing virtuosic fire never heard before, transporting
his listeners with him into blues bliss. | As a session player Jimbo's credits

Amber Rubarth
on her GREAT NEWS !

| Amber Rubarth's NEW CD - "A Common Case of Disappearing" |
A Message From Amber Rubarth:
CARNEGIE HALL with JASON MRAZ.
Holy yes.
November 23. Thanksgiving's Eve. 11-23-11.
Forever engrained as one of the most magical days of my life. Jason Mraz invited
me to be his special guest at Carnegie Hall. Sold out. Tiers and tiers of beautiful people, dressed to the nines.
A beautiful reverence in the air.
I
have a lot of dreams in my life. This was a big one come true. Singing with Jason Mraz in a cardboard box would be spectacular, singing with him at Carnegie
Hall was top of the tree. Or more like floating in outer space. Best Thanksgiving gift ever. I am soaked
in gratitude.
My favorite moment was singing
our new movie love song "Rated Ours" together unplugged at the old timey microphone. I am so grateful,
still glowing.
Here's a VIDEO (thank
you!)

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A NEW RESERVATION NUMBER!
multi-platinum
hits of the great John Denver in a fun-filled evening of singing and stories. Jim plays the guitar and sings John's songs
in a crystal clear tenor that will take your breath away. Anne, his wife and musical partner, plays guitar and mandolin and
sings harmony in all the right places. You'll be invited to sing along, share in the memories, learn new songs and howl at
the moon (literally!)
The music of the late John Denver is like an old
friend, outlasting trends and standing the test of time. Join acclaimed performer Jim Curry for this tribute to the music
of one of the most beloved singer/songwriters ever to grace the stage.
Tribute
artist Jim Curry, who's voice was heard in the CBS-TV movie Take Me Home: The John Denver Story,
has performed Denver's music in sold out shows throughout the country and has emerged as today's top performer of Denver's
vast legacy of multi-platinum hits. Jim's uncanny ability to mirror John's voice and clean-cut
look takes you back to the time when "Rocky Mountain High" "Sunshine" "Calypso" and "Annie's Song" topped the charts, and
his popular music had the heartfelt message of caring for the earth and caring for each other.
Jim will appear with
his wife, Anne who plays mandolin and guitar, sings harmony and generally keeps Jim in line! Together, they will take you
on a musical journey of the heart, where you will be invited to sing, clap your hands, stomp your feet and howl at the moon.
Don't worry, you already know the words to the songs, and John Denver's message is worth repeating:
"Be
kind to the Earth and to each other. "

Hey
Hey, It’s...The Monkees reformation
The original
TV boyband are back together for their first UK tour in 12 years. British-born Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork return
to perform in front of their British fans.
The Monkees,
responsible for some of the biggest hits of the 60s, will be touring the length of the country including a memorable show
at the legendary Royal Albert Hall in London.
The original
TV boy band are the example to all those who have since found musical fame via television. The Monkees wrote the script for
modern day pop music.
Selling
50 million records with hits such as Daydream Believer, Last Train to Clarksville, I’m a Believer and (I’m Not
Your) Steppin’ Stone, The Monkees provided the soundtrack to teenage lives on both sides of the Atlantic from the ‘60s
onwards. With the TV series being repeated throughout the 1980s, a whole new legion of fans were exposed to their crazy antics.
Controversially
created for TV, they eventually broke their shackles and became a respected band in their own right, embedded in the revolutionary
1960s pop fraternity. The Beatles were one of The Monkees’ biggest supporters with John Lennon naming them “the
Marx Brothers of Rock”. In fact in 1967, The Monkees outsold both The Beatles and The Rolling Stones combined.
Following
the TV show, the band went on to tour the world, release hit albums and singles, make a cult psychedelic, surreal film (1968’s
Head) and inspire generations of bands to follow their winning formula.
Without
